While the editors of The Daiiy Ne-j
Lra.kan w re pounding out the mater-'
jui hr thl is-ue of the -Rag- on ;
j thf ir typewriters, they were occasion- j
ally i. micded by a big drop or rresn ,
;aint descending from the ceiling
that tb-ir office was being camou-j
fiaged. ten reporters come backj
from their much needed vacation, for
which they must thank King Flu. they
will find that Instead of a dingy, dark
celling, tbey will find a spzn clean
white roof over their heads.
rJfginnlng Wednesday afternoon the
office of The Daily Nebraskan was pat
fa the hands of two artistic painters
who very skiifuliy pushed the editors
Into the corners and covered their
dtiks with a large caLvas cover which.
to say the least, could hardiy be call
ed Immaculate. But not a word of
cor.ii'"int was heard from tke busy
re ' tpaper men. as they roeci'y fat
peckiriE their niai-h!nHi while so'
and then a wet. oily drop of white
paint flitted from the painter's brush
to an editor's nose. Such Is the life
of the "Rag" makers, but then we are
at war. o why shouldn't tamoffaging
be popular?
